Land Rover Launches the 2008 LR2 HSE

IRVINE, CA - August 24, 2007: Since its introduction in April 2007
the all-new Land Rover LR2 has enjoyed strong sales and to reinforce its
line-up in the
U.S., Land Rover North America today announced the introduction of a new
and enhanced derivative -- the LR2 HSE.

This new version has a sportier stance than the LR2 SE due to body color
bumpers and side sills, a rear spoiler, titanium
door handles and 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Changes to the interior
see 8x6-way power adjustable seats and a storage
box with a sliding cover.

"The LR2 reflects Land Rover's dynamic design, with a smart and spacious
interior and an abundance of advanced technologies.
It has been very well received around the world since its introduction,"
said Phil Popham, Land Rover's Managing Director.
"The HSE version offers subtle changes for those customers seeking a
slightly different look to their LR2."

All of the technical highlights of the LR2 SE are carried over into to
the HSE model. These include a 3.2-liter inline-six
engine that develops 230 bhp and provides 0-60 mph acceleration in 8.4
seconds (0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds).

The engine is matched to a new six-speed automatic transmission, with
Land Rover's CommandShift(TM) offering manual sequential
gear changes when required. There is also a driver-selectable sport
mode for even more responsive performance.

The LR2 HSE is packed with technologies to improve both on-road and off-
road performance. Land Rover's unique Terrain Response(TM)
system is standard, making off-road use easier. Other advanced
technologies include a new permanent intelligent all-wheel-drive
system for superior traction and better on-road fuel economy. The
patented Gradient Release Control works in conjunction
with Hill Descent Control to improve driver confidence and control when
releasing the brakes on steep and slippery slopes.

The LR2 HSE will be available November 1, 2007 at Land Rover retailers
nationwide.
